Synopsis
Four enchanting stories of how Orphan Train children who need new homes bring two people together for a lifetime of love
Last Train Home
In 1879 Missouri, Jack Dryden's wife left him just before their adopted children could arrive. When he meets the trio at the train station, he can't bear sending them back to the orphans home in New York.
Alice McCarthy takes her responsibilities to the orphans' home seriously. In charge of the Hays children's adoption, she tries to ignore how much their future father affects her heart. The rules for her are clear. She has no choice but to refuse the adoption.
Jack never expected to find another love, and Alice had a direction for her life. Except now, all five of them bonded at first sight.
Now they must find a way to break the rules to become a real family.
Lost Orphans
When Harry Donovan became an adoption agent for the Orphan Train children, he'd been more accustomed to prosecuting criminals. The orphans depended on him, but when Harry's wife died in a flu outbreak, he ignored everything until his irresponsibility stared him in the face. Two children Harry had placed were in the dry goods store without their parents, and shamefully, he didn't know why. The two seemed to be happy and, their lovely guardian appeared to care for them.
Mollie Nelson had been helping the adopted children keep a terrible secret about their new parents, the Robinsons. Like Harry, she'd lost her spouse to illness. Caring for the two orphans kept her too busy to grieve. Both Mollie's and the children's farm needed her attention night and day. The handsome adoption agent seemed to care. She wanted to confide in him, but his stern demeanor scared the children.
Now that the adoption agent is demanding answers from the children and their secret guardian, can either Harry or Mollie ignore the blossoming love between them and do what's best for the children?
Their Forever Home
Quincy Easton was a man on a mission. Having grown up as an orphan, he now had an opportunity to help other children find the families he'd never had. Upon successfully delivering his last two charges to their new parents in Sacramento, he'd be accepted as an official agent for his orphanage. Only, something Quincy never counted on was how attached the boys would become to another passenger.
Josie Simmons looked forward to her adventure as a mail-order bride. Nothing remained behind for her in Baltimore after her mother's death except a horrible aunt. When a handsome gentleman slightly older than her needs help with two orphans, she can't help but assist with the charming boys. As their train rolls closer to California, Josie finds she cares more for Quincy than her unmet groom.
After her groom is a no show and the boys beg Josie and Quincy to stay in Sacramento, can they?
Train Depot Orphans
Dorothy McLean went to gather the school's mail, as usual, hoping to see the handsome station master, Eldon Lukeson. But, seeing the crowd of crying children on the depot platform stopped her cold. The orphans' elderly guardian had passed away, and Eldon struggled to lead the children. In an instant, Dorothy jumped at the chance to help him wrangle the orphans into an orderly group.
With no adoption agent and neither Eldon nor Dorothy having living quarters large enough for all of the children, they invent a plan. They, adults and children, would all take turns living in the depot until a new escort arrives. As Eldon shares his child watching duties with Dorothy, he finds leading a family is more enjoyable with her lovely smile and sunny nature.
Once the children continue to their new homes, can either of the adults move on as well?
